Stung with Love: Poems and Fragments by Sappho
4.0
"I declare
That later on,
Even in an age unlike our own,
Someone will remember who we are."
I loved Sappho's poems and fragments. I've never read a collection of poems that stirred up so many emotions. Sappho's poetry is benign, lyrical, and relatable. She explores love and desire with such elegance!
I read this collection slowly to savor it because you can easily binge this book in a few hours. Overall, I'd recommend this book to poetry lovers. I enjoyed the introduction and the notes. They are insightful, and I found them worth reading.
